🇨🇳 Golmud|A dreamlike fairyland! One-day tour guide to Chaerhan Salt Lake✨ 📍Chaerhan Salt Lake A world-class salt mine treasure! Ten times more beautiful than Chaka Salt Lake's sky mirror💎 Instantly transport yourself to a Hayao Miyazaki animation world, white salt flats + emerald lake = a perfect photo spot! 🚗 Transportation tips: 60 km from Golmud city center Recommended to charter a car round trip for about 300 RMB (carpooling is more cost-effective) Self-driving navigation: "Dream Salt Lake Scenic Area Visitor Service Center" 🎫 Ticket information: Peak season (Oct 8 - Dec 31) 98 RMB/person Last entry time 18:00 Remember to bring your ID card! 📸 Must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Wan Zhang Salt Bridge The world's only salt-made road! Walk on the crystal-clear salt crystals, beneath your feet is a 30-meter-thick salt layer🤯 2️⃣ Emerald Salt Lake The Tiffany blue lake surface looks like a spilled paint palette! Aerial views are even more stunning (remember to bring a drone, you can fly drones after registering at the service hall, or rent one on site) 🍜 Food recommendations: Must-try in Golmud city! ▫️ Hand-grabbed mutton: dip in pepper salt, finger-licking good ▫️ Jiuding beef noodles: rich broth and chewy noodles ▫️ Yak yogurt: locals' favorite dessert 💡 Travel tips: • Wear sunglasses! The salt lake reflection is very strong • Wear bright-colored clothes for better photos • Wear shoe covers when entering the lake (rentals available in the scenic area) • You can also visit Kunlun Mountains nearby (1.5 hours by car) ⚠️ Precautions: ▫️ Altitude 2800 meters, pay attention to sun protection and altitude sickness ▫️ The salt lake is highly corrosive, avoid direct contact with water ▫️ The light is softest after 3 PM during peak season 🚩 Extended route: Chaerhan Salt Lake → Kunlun Mountain Pass → Hoh Xil An excellent route to chase Tibetan antelopes!
